It amazes me how finding a great pair of shoes (or two) at a deeply discounted price can somehow transform a day into glittery, shimmery happiness.

Occasionally I venture into my local Nordstrom Rack, not searching for anything in particular; just sort of browsing if you will. Very often, I will find a phenomenal pair of heels and want to take them home immediately. With every fiber of my being, every restraint possible, I sometimes put them down in the hopes that I will find them again at a later date and at a much discounted price. Mind you, this is usually not the case. If you know anything about stores like the Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, or Marshalls; you know that if you find something you like at all, you better pick it up and run to the register as if your pants were on fire because the likelihood of you finding it again is slim to none.

Well, I am happy to report that my most recent visit to the Nordstrom Rack was one filled with love and glee! While meticulously searching the shoe racks from top to bottom, I stumbled upon gold! Do you recall in my earlier post titled: "Superfluous Shoes- Bring 'Em On!" (if not, click here) that I was still searching for the perfect zebra-print stiletto that I thought was lost forever?? Well, I found them on this visit at the very bottom of the rack! One pair left, in my size, and 35% off the original listed price!!!! The smile on my face couldn't get any wider or brighter the rest of the day. It was as if the Sparkle Fairy came down from Glitter Heaven and waved her bejeweled wand at me!

To make matters even sweeter, I also found a fantastic pair of rock-star style black leather stilettos from Michael Kors- also deeply discounted. Score!! These will be perfect as they have the slightest hint of a platform with a bit of a rugged bottom and gorgeous silver details.

Well, as far as I am concerned, I am at peace and tranquility for the moment- until of course, my next shoe obsession comes along!
